Premier Traveler Worldwide Magazine Responds to Recent Hack

Premier Traveler Worldwide Magazine reports that it was hacked during The New Year Celebrations and after weeks of working its way back, the hacker struck again; corrupting files, taking the company's ported phones, email, and data. "I guess it is true that no one is immune to hackers," said PT's Executive Director Adam Rodriguez. The New York Times reported that the F.B.I. now ranks cybercrime as one of its top law enforcement activities.

NEW YORK, March 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Premier Traveler's Executive Director Adam Rodriguez addressed the recent hack of their system this year and explained the new measures in place to combat any future attacks:
